Ever wished that you could just have a list of when all your favourite TV shows and movies are next on, just at the touch of a button?
The day that LocateTV fans have been waiting for is here: the My Picks function has launched.

My Picks is designed to do just this, and we hope you think it’s a clear and easy way to keep up with – well, with your picks.
It couldn’t be easier: search for your favourite show, click the ‘Add to my picks’ icon on the grey title bar of the show or and boom, there it is.

With the newly released The Golden Compass getting mixed reviews – is it a spine-tingling spectacular or a politics-and-religion-shy disappointment compared to Philip Pullman’s books? – we’d like to ask you a provocative question.
